What is the Pomodoro Technique?▼
A time management method: work for 25 minutes (one 'pomodoro'), take a 5-minute break. After 4 pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break.
Can I customize the timer durations?▼
Yes! Adjust work, short break, and long break durations in the settings section below the timer.
Does it work in the background?▼
Yes, the timer continues running even if you switch browser tabs. However, closing the page will reset it.
Why 25 minutes?▼
Research shows 25 minutes is optimal for sustained focus before attention naturally wanes. You can adjust if you prefer 50-minute deep work blocks.
